@dr.patt.exotic.vet: This baby hedgehog can hide nearly every sign of illness in seconds by curling into a tight protective ball. A brief, carefully monitored sedation is often needed to complete a thorough examination of the mouth, teeth, eyes, ears, skin, feet, abdomen, heart, and lungs without repeatedly forcing the hedgehog to uncurl. Early socialization is also important. Short, gentle handling sessions can help young hedgehogs become more comfortable with people and less defensive during routine care. #BabyHedgehog #HedgehogCare #HedgehogExam #PetHedgehog #ExoticVet

My hedgies love our doc. Granted am a vet assistant so the moment they came home we worked on our braveness for exams. I tell owners to use Q-tips to get them ready to have their ears checked. DO NOT INSERT but just touching it to the ears or near the ears so they won’t spike up the moment something gets near their ears. We also recommend favorite high reward snacks being brought to their exam since they only need about an hour or less fast for anesthesia or sedation. 😋
